What would you like to see from Fichtner?

Given the injury depleted nature of our offense, the style that has become MR, and the seemingly reliable defense (up until last week), what would you be happy to see from Fuchtner?

Let's throw out last week completely and find a way to move the ball on offense. It doesn't matter "how" we move it, just give the D a rest and score three times per game.

Would you like to see the wildcat again? Trick/gadget plays? Vannett at fullback? Dink and dunk?

I racked my brain trying to think if I had ever seen such a bad combination of talent and injury on a Steeler offense before and I came to realize that despite all the injuries, we shouldn't be this bad! We have what was an elite offensive line, we have a pro-bowl receiver from last year in JuJu, we have a speedster in Washington, we have a promising young and hungry kid in Johnson.

We lost a few more last week but we shouldn't have been as bad as we were, and we "should" be able to find a way to move the ball knowing that we can rely on our D.

 

His resignation?

 

Him standing in the unemployment line.

 

In all seriousness though, he needs to find a way to keep the offense on the field, no matter how they do it.
Use the wildcat? Sure.
Trick plays? Why not?

They have a QB and an Offensive Line that is struggling. Help them out by getting the ball out quickly. The quick slant seems to be gone from the offense with Rudolph at the helm. While Rudolph's accuracy is suspect sometimes, maybe he is good at that?
Try rolling Rudolph out of the pocket? Maybe that will give defenses a different look and let him see the field differently?
I'd open up the playbook and really dig deep to find any play that can get positive yardage.

 

I knew this answer would come, I just didn't know it would be the first one

 

Was there ever an offensive coordinator Steelers fans liked? Arians, Haley and Fichtner were all despised.

Whisenhunt? Erhardt?

 

yes the guy in my avatar is a cool OC lol

 

What do you expect? We lost at least one game every year under those guys!

 

I didn't really get the hate for Haley honestly. He called some dumb plays at times, but what OC hasn't done that?

 

fichtner may be horrible, but, you need star players to win in the nfl, the steelers have none at this time. NONE!!!!

 

I

I actually like Tequila Todd...But Ben didn't, So you see who won there

 

His walking papers.

 

The offense actually sustaining drives.

With the mess of injuries through it’s tough to tell how much of the problem is scheme and how much is a lack of talent.

He also can’t force Rudolph to make decisions faster which is another big problem. When guys get open Rudolph either doesn’t see them or is a second too slow to see them.

 

Bill Walsh couldnt do much with an offense lead by Rudolph.

Although Fichtner has been terrible not going to lie.

 

Yeah, because Rudolph is the only thing holding this high powered offense back. I mean, just look at all the talent at the skill positions we will field on Sunday, not to mention the stellar play of our offensive line. Can't believe the bum at QB isn't succeeding with all that talent around him.

 

Do what we do is the reason we haven’t done what needs to be done.

 

Me too..............................

 

Yeah many here want to point out Mason's bad game...which he did have....however how many passes did Holton drop???? Better yet people are talking about Mason's trouble throwing the long ball yet how about the nice pass he had to Holton who didn't catch it????? Mason was bad but so was the rest of this offense.........Nice post.

 

Post of the year right here.....lol!

 

I want 29 Super Bowl wins, is that too much to ask

 

I think the hate for Haley came from his reputation and attitude. He had been in fracases with players everywhere he was and how dare he disagree with Ben!

 

The Wiz was a great one. Ben, turned out ok. I also like, Mularkey and Gailey. None of them, were good HC but great OC
